I love almost all of your quizzes!! This one, however, seemed very predictable, even a bit sexist. Many of these are stereotypes- that men care more about attractiveness in a partner than women do, or that women are more likely to cry during movies and like romantic comedies. I understand it’s just a quiz, but compared to many of your other quizzes, this one seemed out of place.

Huh. I’ve been taking Blogthings quizzes since a few years ago. I like how you upload a new one each day, and it’s become a habit of mine to take one each day. I’ve taken all of them so far. I just found this discussion feature recently, and think it’s a great idea. Are you the one who makes the quizzes, Kari? I wanted to say thanks to you and the rest of the BT team. 🙂

Thanks so much, Anna! I like to put out a new quiz every day 🙂 And yes, I write all of them. The only other person working on Blogthings is my husband, and he does the tech side of things. I really appreciate your kind words 🙂

Wow! It’s great to finally meet you. I have so many questions. Like, How many quizzes do you have on hand? As I’m sure you don’t create a new one each day from scratch. And how do you determine the results of a quiz, based on how the questions are answered? As in, what kind of research do you do? I’m sorry if this isn’t the place for my babbling LOL.

On topic, my result for this quiz was “Man.” Hah, I guess I like to be logical most of the time. I don’t know if that says more about me or women in general. 😉

I actually just noticed the “Ask Blogthings a question” page, so I apologize for asking questions that have already been asked many times. Thank you for still answering them though. 🙂

I don’t know of too many sources for information, but PubMed is a great one if you set the filter for only free articles. PM also has a good psychology wiki if you’re looking for something specific. There’s also Google Scholar. Those are the only peer-reviewed ones I know, so you know their info is accurate. 😉

While I get that this quiz is just supposed to be for fun, is it really necessary to enforce these stereotypes? The result I received was “You are a woman”, which is true. The explanation listed does fit me (at least to an extent), but this quiz is still basically just listing a bunch of stereotypes. I love taking blogthings quizzes, but I’m kind of disappointed with this quiz.

I got ‘woman’, and I’m proud to be one…
Some points didn’t really match my personality, though… I never cried during a movie, and I don’t really care about my looks (I got this idea of beauty that defy stereotypes and common standards, some people just find it weird).
The last question’s the toughest one. I like both mystery novel and history book in equal amount, so it took me almost five minutes considering my last answer (I eventually chose ‘history book’ seeing as I’m currently reading R. Harris’s history novel titled Conspirata).
I’m wondering about the last question. According to the scientific data you mentioned, which gender tend to choose which book? Based on my amateur observation, my ‘more girly’ friends think mystery novels to be heavy, and history books even more so…

But it is true; I love technology and how things work, and I like knowing the facts. At the same time, though, I love art, design, & literature. And I can get quite sentimental and emotional at times too. I’m a solid split between the genders. And that’s cool with me. 😉

You Are a Woman
Like most women are in touch with your emotions, and you believe that crying can be cathartic.
You aren’t going to apologize for having a tender heart. You’re moved by so much in this world.

You love art and literature. You think stories are important, and you tend to gravitate towards fiction.
≈You love beautiful things, and you have an eye for design. Beauty is important to you, especially your own.

I am a woman but I never cry during movies and I absolutely HATE romantic comedies!

I find this quiz idea really neat, but I was bummed out to see it was just a gender predictor test. I was hoping it would ask questions about the sites you go on and how you comment on things online. I must have read, “Do people ever get your gender wrong online?” incorrectly. :'(

The questions were…typical man/woman questions (it’s mostly women who cry during movies and men are usually portrayed as interested in math.) My result was “man” and I’m pretty happy with it. 🙂 Yeah boy lol

It came i am a woman and the description is true..it really matches, what i want to ask you is about a question. Would you prefer to go out with someone better looking than you..well..i did not get that..did it mean..Yes, i prefer better looking people? but does it not seem a little rude? or if its a no..then is it not a tad bit selfish? i mean i m sure its not how its meant to be..its just that..what i felt..nonetheless..a great quiz…
